    There is something that’s not very flattering with this. Under the belt it makes your stomach look hughe and while it may be on the bigger side I dint think it’s anything like this scarf design shows

    I’m definitely inspired by your project. It looks super cute on you! I think for my shorter and more curvy shape, I’ll leave long slits from the waist down. Thanks for sharing your unique ideas. You never disappoint. 👍
